Injen Cold Air Intake with HydroShield

This is an amazing engine: people are already DEPENDABLY over 450hp on LSJ motors on stock internals, and GM has a build book which covers LSJ, LNF, and L61 engines up to 1400whp. Absolutely nothing wrong with this motor--oil changed religiously every 3k miles with Royal Purple 5W-30. Still runs just as great as the day I bought it.
This is a VERY RARE G85 Recaro/Quaife LSD car with 33k highway miles.
G85 was a 1500 dollar option, and very sought-after in the Cobalt/Redline/Ecotec community. These seats are amazing. Quaife also released a 6-spd conversion that would take you to 188mph with some engine upgrades.
Car never smoked in. Oil always changed every 3k with Royal Purple oil--no expense spared.
Interior is great-very luxurious and sporty. Leather seats, steering wheels, and shifter are amazing-and are cleaned regularly.
The only reason I'm parting with my pride and joy is that I have a 1 year old son and another on the way, so I'm in the market for an HHR or HHR SS. I have had VTEC engines, and they don't hold a candle to the power, reliability, and upgradeability of the ECOtec. I will definitely be buying another Ecotec vehicle.
Potential for this car is anywhere from stock 205whp (currently at 255whp with upgrades) to 1400whp, depending on what your imagination and wallet will allow (as with any engine). Many options with this car: supercharger swaps/upgrades, twincharging (SC + turbo), or complete turbo. Most people with these options are getting anywhere from 300-450whp reliably on stock internals.
I'm not into street or drag racing, but you WILL smoke any non-boosted Honda out there with this car. I've done a lot of research and installed the optimal performance/handling balance that I could afford. It really is an amazing setup.
No deadbeat buyers--car will not be released for delivery until amount is paid and recieved in full. Paypal, Cash, Western Union Money Order, USPS Money Order and Cashier's Checks only.
Pickup and delivery is buyer's responsibility. I will stop driving the car and have it prepared and detailed for delivery when pmt is recvd. Thanks so much for looking!

I had converted the interior trim from silver to House of Kolor's Kandy apple red, but can buy and throw in a set of stock pieces if you really want them. Car comes with extra climate control and stereo (in case you want to change the faceplates or as spare parts).
This car is wicked when it comes to suspension, which makes it a very balanced car. These make the car much easier to control when you have 250+hp going to the front wheels:
Ingall's "Stiffy" Torque Damper
Progress rear anti-sway bar (thicker, replaces stock and prevents excessive roll)
DC Sports strut tower bar (made a huge difference in steering and turn-in)
Powerslot drilled rotors + Hawk HPS street/track pads (all 4--speed doesn't do much good if you can't stop--stock rotors/pads included in sale)
Eibach Sportline Springs (originals included in sale)--dropped car 2.5" and made the car MUCH more controllable when driving.
Absolutely NO suspension issues--this is one of the best-handling Cobalts out there with my suspension and wheel/tire combinations.
I have 2 sets of wheels that will be included in the sale:
Summer wheels-- Outlaw Maverick 18" wheels with Toyo Proxes4 high-performance tires
18" Stock Wheels--5-spoke gunmetal with lots of curb rash (I bought them from a forum since I sold my stock ones)--no tires installed.
Winter wheels/tires are also available-but only if you request them, since they also fit the HHR that I want.
